Description/Abstract

In this paper, we describe the performance of the parallel GROMOS87 code, developed under the ESPRIT EUROPORT-2/PACC project, and indicate its potential impact in industry. An outline of the parallel code structure is given, followed by a discussion of the results of some industrially-relevant testcases. Conclusions are drawn as to the overall success of the project, and lessons learned from the porting and benchmarking activities, which show that the parallel code can enable more ambitious use of molecular simulation in industry.
